Where can I obtain bell crank, throttle linkage cables, rods, etc for a 3.2 liter DME conversion car?

I used the James Patrick throttle linkage kit, which eliminates the bell crank, uses a much shorter cable, and routes the throttle cable in close proximity to the heat exchangers. It's a much simpler system, but the problem is that when you get caught in a traffic jam and sit around idling for a half hour or so the throttle cable fries for lack of cooling air flow and the car becomes undrivable.

I have tried both options. The gas pedal is easier and smoother to push if you use the bell crank on the trans, since the cable doesn't have to bend. Running the cable directly to the motor works but the odd angles the cable has to go through makes the gas pedal harder to push.
